Nonsense. I plug mine into my transfer panal all the time.

Hmmm... IIRC, the EU2000 user's manual mentions this...

I stand corrected. The note on page 14 of the on-line user's manual says
the receptacle grounds are connected to the frame, and the wiring diagram
on page 54 shows that...

Best if the neutral and ground are tied together at one location. The
ground is a saftey item. Neutral is designed to carry the current.

Maurice Riggins adds:

Well... it's like I said... if you're reading 60V on the neutral line
with respect to ground, would YOU connect neutral to ground? Remember
that the neutral side of the EU output is unfused. Although the EU
manual shows the wiring diagram, it doesn't show you what's in the
inverter. That Vaughn is able to get away with shorting the 60V neutral
to ground, and apparently then getting 120V instead of 60V on the hot
side WRT ground, indicates the output is probably already transformer
coupled in the inverter. I wouldn't have considered that a safe
assumption to make.
